The Spiritual Attainment of Minghe

Kunpengʼs expression turned ghastly and he said coldly, ”How can I give you my Spiritual Treasure? Itʼs too much of Fellow Taoist Minghe to send you here.” Never mind a supreme primordial treasure like the River Chart and the Inscription of the Luo, he didnʼt even have many primordial spiritual treasures to begin with.

The Heaven and Earth Taoist smiled more widely. ”Kunpeng, did you think Iʼm here to discuss it with you?” His smile remained but his killing intent was obvious. Kunpeng had once seen such a smile on Mingheʼs face but still shivered to see it a second time.

He was naturally unhappy and gritted his teeth. ”Donʼt force me. If push comes to shove, Iʼll just drag you to hell with me. I suppose Minghe will feel pain if you, the Great Deity of Feng Capital dies? And the Nether World will probably fall into chaos?”

The Heaven and Earth Taoist suddenly burst out laughing hearing Kunpengʼs threat. ”Youʼre still the same! Youʼve not grown an inch! Drag me to hell? Go ahead and try! No, youʼd better try moving before making such a bold claim!”

Kunpeng watched him came close and took away his River Chart and the Inscription of the Luo from his hands without being able to resist. The most terrible thing was that he felt like he was in a separate space as he couldnʼt feel his Eternal Spiritual Treasure or the Demon Palace at all. Though he was still in the hall of his palace, he could only see it but not initiate it.

Kunpengʼs face changed drastically. This was more than just the Law of Heaven and Earth, it was the Law of Space. He never thought that the Heaven and Earth Taoist would be capable of comprehending the Law of Space and with such mastery too. Kunpeng couldnʼt make any resistance against him. Was this truly the power a Sage-to-be was capable of owning?

Realization hit him suddenly and he looked at the Heaven and Earth Taoist in shock. He felt as if his whole body was integrated into the heaven and earth, without any vital force of the Sages-to-be around him. That was the feeling of being in the Realm of Origin. ”Y-You! Youʼve actualized the Origin!” His voice was full of fear.

Since the birth of the Untainted Land, only seven had ascended into Sagehood besides Hongjun. Among them, Minghe was the only one who had actualized the Realm of Origin and became a Da Luo Golden Immortal. And now, even his Good Separation had succeeded where so many almighty people in the Untainted Land had failed. It was unbelievable.

Kunpeng knew he didnʼt have the slightest chance of escaping an expert of both the Law of Heaven and Earth and the Law of Space. Would he die here today? Holding onto the last glimmer of hope for survival, he asked, ”Fellow Taoist Heaven and Earth, you can take the treasure. Please let me go for Goddess Nvywaʼs sake. I swear Iʼll never hold this against Fellow Taoist Minghe in the future.”

The Heaven and Earth Taoist played with the treasure in his hands and smiled. ”Goddess Nvywa? Kun Peng, back then you escaped before the battle without consideration for Fuxiʼs life. If not for your status as the Demon Master, she wouldʼve longed sorted you out. Do you think sheʼll be enemies with us if I kill you here today?”

Kunpengʼs face turned deathly pale. The Heaven and Earth Taoist was right. His status as the Demon Master was the only thing holding Goddess Nvywa back from killing him. That was why he had lived in seclusion since the battle of the Wu Tribe and the Demon Tribe, afraid of Goddess Nvywaʼs retaliation against him without regard for his position.

The Heaven and Earth Taoist continued, ”Now that you know my secret, do you think thereʼs any chance we let you live?” He looked at Kunpeng with a smile, feeling the joy of being able to toy with the lives of others.

Kunpengʼs face turned sheet white. If he was the Heaven and Earth Taoist, he wouldnʼt let someone who knew his secret live either. After all, only the dead would keep secrets. Was his death inevitable?

Suddenly, a thought came to him. If Minghe wanted to kill him, the Heaven and Earth Taoist wouldnʼt be entertaining him with all these talks. With his strength, it was a piece of cake for the Heaven and Earth Taoist to kill him. Since he was being told so many things, it was apparent the Heaven and Earth Taoist didnʼt want to kill him. Perhaps he was still useful to Minghe.
